"Since you are ashamed to be my brother, why do you have to pretend to be my brother?"

The emotions that had been pent up for so long suddenly burst out at this moment, and the calmness and obedience that Xu Xingyin had tried so hard to maintain were unexpectedly broken at this moment.

Originally, Xu Xingyin planned to ease the relationship with Xu Chaoge. After all, he was her only brother.

but……

When he heard him speaking every word for Xu Wanmian, Xu Xingyin realized that he was not such a generous person.

She cares about it!

She has always been calculating!

Xu Chaoge should have been the person closest to her in this world.

But now, due to various reasons, she is treated worse than her siblings. How can she accept such a gap with a smile!

When she just returned home earlier, her mother was in a coma and she could only protect herself by showing weakness.

After her mother recovered, she devoted herself to the affairs of the General's Mansion and was too lazy to pay attention to the turmoil in the Duke's Mansion.

Because in her heart, the relatives of the Zhennan General's Mansion are much more important than those two-faced uncles, aunts and sisters.

But now it seems that she was wrong.

Before you can fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the internal situation. If you don't even clean up the things around you, you will definitely encounter complications when doing other things.

Rather than letting them interfere with your work later, it is better to nip their little tricks in the bud from the beginning.

From today on, she will not tolerate it anymore!

"Brother, do you think I'm vicious? But from the beginning to the end, I wasn't the one who punished them to kneel in the ancestral hall. Why didn't you go to find grandma, but ran to my yard? Oh, let me guess, you have to pick on the weak, right?"

"I don't think of you as a pushover! Don't try to change your mind!"

Xu Xingyin smiled softly, with a tone that sounded both sarcastic and helpless.

"Oh, yes, I'm afraid I'm not even as good as a soft persimmon in my brother's eyes."

"Don't say these irrelevant words, as if you have suffered a great injustice."

"Brother, do you think I am not wronged?"

Xu Xingyin asked back.

"My third sister is injured and in pain. She has her brother to care for her, her aunt to care for her, and her father to love her, but what about me?

What do I have? Did my brother know how confused, scared and helpless I felt when they pushed me up to be a target for no apparent reason?

Did anyone feel sorry for me at that time? Did my brother ever think that this situation was really caused by me?

Xu Chaoge was stunned by Xu Xingyin's question. The anger in his heart had dissipated a little, but he still pouted and argued again.

"You've been in the spotlight, so what is there to be afraid of..."

"What if I am really the illiterate Xu Xingyin that others are talking about? Do you still think I can handle such a situation?"

"..."

Xu Chaoge was stunned for a moment but ultimately did not respond.

"What should a brother's favorite sister look like?"

Xu Xingyin's question came suddenly. Xu Chaoge was stunned for a moment before he reacted and started thinking, but Xu Xingyin, who asked the question, continued talking on his own.

she seems to be...

Never expected an answer from him.

This realization made Xu Chaoge feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Talented, kind and gentle? But do you know, brother? True family love has no limits. It's not because I am that kind of person that I can become your sister. It's because I am your sister that you can accept me in any way. If I must live up to the standards that brother expects..."

Xu Xingyin clearly had a strong attitude when she said this, but Xu Chaoge still clearly caught the hidden starlight in her eyes.

"So, brother's feelings are a barter transaction, what's the difference between that and a commodity waiting to be sold?"

she says.

Xu Chaoge was speechless after being confronted by Xu Xingyin. After a long while, he weakly explained.

"I didn't mean it that way."

"The news of Third Sister's illness should have been reported to Mother first. What could be more important than her health that she asked the maid to deliver the news to Brother's Chaoyun Courtyard first?"

"I overheard it by accident."

Xu Chaoge frowned and thought for a moment before he could not help but remind her: "Don't say such things again. If it gets out, it will be seen as fabricating a crime against Shujie, which is not good to hear."

"So my brother also knows that people's words are scary."

Xu Xingyin said this with a half-smile, and his eyes turned cold.

"Danfeng, there's a little turtle that's been staying in my yard for a long time. Go and capture it for me."

"Yes!"

After saying this, Dan Feng led two servants out of the moon-shaped gate in a menacing manner and captured a maid in the rockery behind the moon-shaped gate.

The maid was so frightened by this that she was pinned to the ground by two servants and trembled violently.

Xu Xingyin's gaze lightly passed over the maid, and then turned to look at Xu Chaoge.

"Brother is so careless, he even brought a little tail with him."

Although Xu Chaoge didn't know how dangerous the rear quarters were, he guessed that the maid had bad intentions. He frowned into two small mountains and questioned her harshly.

"You bold maid, which courtyard are you from? What are you doing hiding there?"

"I...I am a new servant in the mansion. I just took the wrong path and offended the master. I hope the master will forgive me..."

As the maidservant spoke, tears started to fall down her face, and she cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

As Xu Chaoge listened, his vigilance faded a little. He frowned and then pursed his lips. It was obvious that he was softening his heart.

Xu Xingyin looked at Xu Chaoge's series of changes in expression and immediately guessed why Xu Wanmian meant so much to Xu Chaoge's heart. It turned out that his brother just liked to act pitiful and act like a little white rabbit.

Xu Xingyin chuckled and no longer had any hope in his brother's judgment.

He took two steps forward and lifted up the maid's face with his hand. Then, after seeing the maid's appearance clearly, he withdrew his hand with disgust and said.

"You're lying. When I entered Chenguang Courtyard, I saw you sneaking around there and peeking inside. I thought you were a thief who was stealing property, so I told them to lock the yard. I wanted to catch you in the trap, but I didn't expect my brother to be here, so I was delayed. Tell me, why did you lie?"

There was a flash of panic in the maid's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and insisted.

"I have indeed walked into the wrong courtyard. Please understand, young lady! I am truly innocent!"

"is it?"

Xu Xingyin was playing with her nails painted with rouge, and her attitude was nonchalant, but what she said startled the maid.

"But some valuables were indeed lost in my yard two days ago. If you can't explain clearly today, I will have no choice but to send you to see the official."
